Marko, as smart as gasman seems to be electrically, he could probably build you an ecm spy cable. Its just a usb cable with a deutch connector grafted on to it. If not, you can buy one for 40 bones.

I hear tps resets are one of the main reasons to own it. And once you figure it out, you won't have to give a dealer any money!

The software is hard to find now. I have a copy on my pc if you'd like it, I just need to wait for my internet guy to come in and hook it up. It comes with a pdf tuning guide as well.

I should just buy a cable. Stuff is cheap enough. Probly wouldn't ever use it to tune.

Exactly. That is me. I didn't have the desire to shell out $500+ for a tuner and dyno time. Cause I'm not so concerned about power gain, as much as I wanted better throttle response and especially with the Ultra (TC96) wanted to cool it down. The TC96 motors are known for getting WAY WAY hot. I'm talking 280*+ oil temps on the highway.

Thanks for the confidence but I don't have those mad skillz.

Dude only lists stuff for Buell back to 06. No good for me.

marko138 · 11-25-2009, 07:53 AM

He should hire someone to do a proper website. Might help his business.

Gas Man · 11-25-2009, 01:51 PM

Yeah perhaps.

Gas Man · 11-29-2009, 02:00 AM

Well I did the install on the Ultra.

The units themselves

Locate Front

Unplug

Now not only did I plug the unit inline, I shrink wrapped the grounding end for 2 reasons. One to cover up the pink plastic, and two, to keep water out of it.

I then also replaced the yellow zip tie and then zip tied the wires into the same place the harness was before.

Found the rear just behind the oil dipstick.

Unplug

Ran the grounding wire up to the battery ground under the seat

See the blue connector

Shrink wrap the grounding connection, same two reasons

Zip tie it all together

Tucked back into place

I must say, I 100% endorse this product. While the greatest benifit for a Twin Cam is to cool the motor down, which I won't be able to notice till next year sometime. However, the throttle response is nearly the same improvement on the Ultra, benifit as well.

Hands down this is a must do mod, especially for $100 and its complete ease.

uhhh. is that an oil cap with a battery operated Lcd level display? im not sure how i feel about that...

Cutty72 · 11-29-2009, 05:14 AM

Come on, you didn't like the pink?

and I think the display is for oil temp.

Tmall · 11-30-2009, 05:36 AM

Sure gas was talking about the wiring, not the oil dip stick.
